Abstract

An improved apparatus (100) and methods for recovering abrasive from an abrasive-laden fluid are shown and described. An abrasive-laden fluid handling device (210) is coupled to a catcher tank (16) to collect abrasive-laden fluid and transport it to a hydro-classifier (130). Wet recovered abrasive is discharged from the hydro-classifier (130) and transferred to a de-watering device (170). The de-watering device (170) removes water from the abrasive by decanting fluid and via use of an air eduction system (180). De-watered abrasive (144A) is then ejected from the de-watering device to a dryer unit (300), to be further dried and processed for reuse.
